In view of the social challenges of the 21st century posed to future buildings, the question arises as to whether concrete constructions are still part of this future. However, the examples, approaches and possibilities in this article highlight...

The ECF rail fastening system is used for steel rail slab track systems, where height adjustment is achieved through welded and grout-embedded threaded bolts. However, under unexpectedly high loads, partial or complete bolt fractures of these bolts...

The demographic change and digitalization present significant challenges to the construction industry. In existing buildings, where renovation relies on the expertise of numerous experts and executing professionals, the knowledge loss associated...

Poor construction quality is one of the most significant challenges facing the construction industry. Inspections based on detailed quality inspection plans are crucial for detecting and minimizing construction failures. Current inspection planning...

Sandwich panels have established themselves as self-supporting and isolating construction elements as room closures in hall construction. They are used both as roof and wall elements. Sandwich panels are typically subjected to self-weigth, wind and...

This series of contributions presents methods and procedures for quality assurance of welded ETFE-foils for building applications. These were developed within the framework of a research project involving manufacturers and design offices as well as...

Cross-frames are part of the transverse system of steel composite bridges with a box girder cross-section and are arranged approximately every 3 - 5 m in the longitudinal direction. The design of cross-frame connections to the concrete deck is based...

This article, consisting of two parts, deals with the measurement and calculation of the thermal conductivity of unfrozen soils. For this purpose, the thermal conductivity of two soils, sandy gravels and silty sands, is determined experimentally...

The demand for timber-concrete composite floors (TCC floors) is increasing in the building sector. TCC combines the advantages of lightweight timber floors with the favorable structural properties of concrete floors. At present, single-span systems...

In light of climate change and resource scarcity, the environmental impact of infrastructure projects is becoming increasingly important. In particular, due to the long service life of bridges, it is crucial to consider sustainability, durability...

The sustainability assessment of infrastructure is already established in many areas, but in Germany it is not yet regularly applied to road infrastructure. However, due to the direct correlation between the type of construction and the development...
